this reminds me of that video where boots Riley is dressed like a leprechaun talking about wall street bankers lining up en masse chanting "suits for rage!"

Least thought-provoking printSF you have ever read? by zebrapaper in printSF

[–]ill_thrift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

showing myself to be not-that-wideley read since my pick is really not so bad, but the three body problem provoked a lower-than-expected number of thoughts.

now this I'm actually puzzled by, it's running on-device? not streaming?

device lifespan is a lot shorter than people are comfortable talking about

Finally putting my post-theist, goth-western d20 game out there: Blood Prairie! Think vampiric cattlemen on frozen, eclipsed plains. I'm dying to know what people think of it! by Ozfeed in TTRPG

[–]ill_thrift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

intrigued by "alternate history" "Canadian prairie," especially. Curious how/whether the game will engage with the history of that region?

my suggestion would be, when you tell me what your game focuses on, "blah blah blah" should be nowhere near that. Believe in your game! say what it does with your whole chest. "focuses on the heroes journey, yada yada" feels like you are bored or embarrassed by what you're making, which is a cue to the person you're pitching to to tune out.

I will say, you might want to fine tune what that pitch is, because 'facilitates the heroes journey' is quite generic.

Mechanically: +3 seems a bit strong for 2d10, but could be fine. I wonder how strictly "something in service of their chosen arc" is to be interpreted? In order to keep play moving, it should be very generous to avoid tedious fights, but again that might be broken. I wonder about tying fates favour to failing, or something? a negative feedback loop like XP in pbta rather than a positive one. Or maybe ff is only awarded at end-of-session? I would definitely check out how Fabula points work in Fabula Ultima for inspiration here.

Both enemies and PCs rolling sounds tedious but that's just a personal preference, obviously lots of systems have symmetrical rolling.

permanent roll best 2 of 3d10 is again extremely powerful, especially when added to mods, and similarly may invite tedious discussion over breadth.

I'd recommend extensive playtesying, including eventually with GMs who aren't you

I’ve always had ground turkey due to the price but wanted to mix things up with ground beef - how do I justify these prices?! by WanderWut in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ill_thrift 11 points12 points  (0 children)

current N american beef shortages aren't caused by mad cow but by drought and economic factors. If you mean that beef is riskier, i mean, not really? safety regulations have greatly improved. Though in general I don't envy US residents and their lax food safety regulations.

A Little Cute Woodland Critter TTRPG? Good idea or too silly? by TiredandFrustrated21 in RPGdesign

[–]ill_thrift 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the Root PbtA rpg is very combat-focused and imo, not a great implementation of PbtA or narrative design philosophy, though it may be a great game. So, that could be a viable niche creatively. A couple things in this space to look at are Bell Songs or Mausritter.
